Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.

I am a sprinter, and I love to go fast. It's very difficult for me to be patient and follow a race strategy or conserve energy.

I grew up in my mom's third grade classroom and always helping her, and I also got a passion for kids that way.

I majored in elementary education, and I have a passion for kids.

I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me. That's what I do and it's what I love, but I think by having other things I'm passionate about and interested in, it helped me to come back. It helped me to have renewed love for the sport by being able to step away and then come back.
